Great analysis! One thing that I picked up on that I haven't heard a single person talk about-maybe its just a coincidence and not intentional. When Bo says "Finding that hole like I'm Stephen Hawking. Atticus Finch, Killing Mocking." HAWK(ing), FINCH, and MOCKING(bird) are all kinds of birds.

Only Knox Hill is going to fully break down every bar of this. There's so much to unpack I'm glad you took the time to appreciate each piece of wordplay. The pauses are justified. Most reactors miss so much of this. Great job.😄👍

This song is so funny! And with Knox's breakdown and sense of humor, it's even better. 😊

Aha couldn't agree more 😂😂 n knox don't miss a thing either 🖤🤟

Also i the "I'm selling out" line from the intro ties into the hungry hungry hypocrite line from the chorus because before most artists make it big they are referred to as a "starving artist" but when they finally make it big people who followed their early work will call them a sellout because they usually make some kind of compromise to get signed

11:45 also I’m pretty sure that towards the end of the book Scout pokes at a roly-poly 😂

"goliath wins and then sells all the silk that the widow spins" also references two kinds of spider. The Goliath Bird Eating Spider (the biggest spider aka tarantula) and the Black Widow. ties back to his spider web puns from earlier.

The catch on that triple for USA, You Ese, U essay was flawless... so many people miss it and I'm glad you caught it because it's a seriously under-rated string of lyrics.

Something I also noticed after like the third listen is NYU is of course the school but the NY could also be referring back to “Not You” from the prior lines. Also NY and the twin towers being a key part in reigniting xenophobia in the US.

I've been listening to this song since it came out. Seen probably 20+ reactions, but we have all been waiting on you Knox because NO ONE even came close to catching all this, you caught a bunch of things I never caught. Best to ever do it!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Trying to keep up with beau is a challenge for anyone. Even his Atticus Finch bars were a double up reference to one of his idols, Tim Minchin. The Australian musician, comedian.

This song is alliteration given form. I had no idea what I was getting into when I finally discovered Bo years ago. (Shortly after "Words, Words, Words," if I recall.)

"find the hole like im steven hawking" hole as in black hole, Hawking was a physist who was famous for studying black holes 10:03

Knox, I have heard this song 20+ times and missed the Helga bar. Thank you for your Hey Arnold wisdom

About time! Now you gotta react to 'I'm Bo Yo' and 'Bo Fo Sho' his other bar heavy songs.

This was damn near the perfect reaction! One of Bo’s most bar heavy songs, and one of KZread’s best bar analyzers. Match made in Heaven lol. Idk whether or not you’ve done it yet but there’s another song of Bo’s called “rant.” that also has some top shelf wordplay. Not the Kanye Rant, just ‘rant.’ Can’t recommend that one highly enough. Also ‘Hell of a Ride’! Bo does some fun flow changes in that one and it’s quite the experience. Keep ‘em comin! Cheers

Heck yeah, I really hope he's going to react to rant., absolutely in love with that song.

I just noticed that Bo is in a hot air balloon in a basket over the flames of hell, like the expression “going to hell in a handbasket,” which Bo is basically saying the USA is doing throughout the song. Also, a hot air balloon uses fire to stay aloft, so fire is burning below AND above him.

Also, after the line “bitches and hoes don’t exist because the hoes know Bo’s a feminist” he says “so take off your bras and burn ‘em” which is/was one of the big political statements of feminists. Also “Bo’s hoes” is a double for “Bo’s hose” aka his dick

Bo Burnham never ceases to amaze me. He's always on fire.

Bro besides your amazing breakdowns, you have the BEST fucking catchphrases that always leave me in stitches. "What in the football head hey Arnold bars" killed me.

I'm so happy you finally got to this song!! It's amazing and you're amazing at breaking his bars down and making them understandable! You are my fav reactor! Loving your music too!

Finally! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ABOUT A YEAR! THE RAP GODS HAVE BLESSED US

Glad you were able to catch it all. This is a piece of art and Bo is a hell of an artist. I will say, the part about the taco and Goliath, the taco is on the back of a truck (i.e. taco truck) and it gets eaten up by a big burger, which I took as some of the big burger companies (i.e. McDonald's, Burger King, etc.). I thought of it as saying the bigger food chains will eat up the taco trucks, or put them out of business, hence the chain restaurants being Goliath and them winning. That was what I got out of it. Great job!

Imho "Oh Bo"is his best rap song, maybe not as rich in bars as this golden example but well, you remember how he came after Pop Music in "Repeat Stuff"? "Oh Bo" is the song where he goes after the things he dislikes about the modern rap scene. You should really take a look at it!

On your first Bo reaction, I commented that this song had his best bars of all time. You’re the first person I’ve seen react to this and catch nearly every line (most reactors completely overlook the liberty bell and Goliath references for example). Bravo Knox, thank you.

Yes! Finally, what a perfect combo this is, a silly song just for the sake of throwing together a bunch of clever bars, and a guy who prides himself in breaking down bars. Wanted this forever, thank you Knox. You are the first person Ive seen catch the semi colon bar, always get frustrated when other reactors breeze by that one, most miss others too like the arrested for doing 80, and hymen bars. Knox remains the king.

Bo is so lyrically genius! So happy he is still feeding our heads!

Love this gets back to knox and bo over and over love how knox really lets go when he listens to bo😂

Wow!! The way you understand and break down every line is so impressive. You Sir have gained a new fan on this day ❤️

WOOO KNOX UPLOAD! Small missed bar: pinkeye is often caused by fecal matter in the eye, which ties in to the "butt virus" portion and aids. Amazing breakdown as always, catching bars that i never could 👏

Dude! I have listened to this like 60 times and seen as many reactions and I have tried to figure out all of the double and tribble meanings and little things in this. You got more from your first listen. Thanks man. :) Might be easier if you are a rapper and American and not a Chef and Finnish, but I got 80% you just gave me the rest 20%.

I've known this song for years and years and yet you managed to point out so many word play jokes I've completely missed.

Thanks, that was fun! Please, more old rap from Bo, he was unhinged.

You got more out of this than I have after listening to the song hundreds of times and watching at least a dozen others break it down!!!

I see plenty Burnham reactions but will always click yours, you catch everything! Grats

You caught every single one of these amazing bars. Well done.

I think he only missed one really. IMO at least. I think the “sells all the silk that the widow spins” line is a comment on companies/workforce that pay low wages to demanding jobs. Most likely directly related to jobs that are typically held by immigrants. But still great breakdown. First one I’ve seen breakdown every line Instead of just giggle and Shake their head.

Words, Words, Words has got to be my favorite old school Bo banger. Let's be real though, I'll watch any Bo breakdowns you put out

My head hurts from that lesson of a breakdown 😅 I've known this song for years but have apparently never KNOWN this song. Knox is amazing! ❤❤❤

I was in middle school when KZread really kicked off and between Smosh and NigaHiga, Bo Burnham was one of my favorites. This was the first video I watched from him and I’ve been a fan ever since. Awesome breakdown!!

I knew Bo was extremely clever but damn you broke it down way more than I could have despite many times I’ve heard it damn. Liked and subbed for even being able to catch everything here omg. Almost as impressive as him actually just coming up with this jeeze

Holy shit, you caught more clever wordplay than analysis I find on google!

I love the way you appreciate Bo's brain! If you haven't reacted to his track Rant I think you'd really appreciate that, one of my favorites! 😍

Bo is a goat. His ability to word play is so insane it is and he does it on a way most people wouldn't even realize it just goes over your head. It feels effortless to him as well. He's a true lyrical miracle.

The only thing I heard that you didn't mention, and no shade at all you just broke down about 10 I never caught myself before 😂 'Find that hole like I'm Steven Hawking' - as in Steven Hawking's Black Hole Theory, which had holes in it! Haven't commented in a while so thanks again for all the epic content Knox, if you don't mind me saying so you look like you're having more fun doing this and catching more of those bars than you ever did - it's great to see dude, huge fan of your music too, much respect for that 🖊 game, keep batting 1000 Proffessor! 🔥

By far the best breakdown of this song I’ve seen! Great job. Bo is a hilarious genius!😂💯🔥

Thankyou for breaking these lyrics down brother!!! I love Bo, and never knew there were THAT many layers to the meanings! love it man

I've been waiting for a long time for this specific video and song reaction from specifically you, Knox. Such a fun track that's kind of weird and all over the place but very skillfully crafted nonetheless.

I still remember my first time hearing this (same day it released) and listened to it so many times that I’ve got the entire song memorized to this date. Same with most of the songs on that album.

Bahawhaw!!!! Bro. You made that so fkin funnier. I already heard it and said wait’ll @knoxhill gets his ears on this. Lmao. THANK YOU! Made my Wednesday morning Knox!

I REALLY appreciate that after pausing you rewind a bit back, no joke I love it Because so many react people miss a ton of cool wordplay because they don't rewind Love your content man!

I was waiting for this and I am not at all surprised to see it is over 24 min long.

I loved the deep breakdown. Ive seen this Bo video at least 50 times and you still pointed out connections in the bars that I hadn't gotten yet.

I'm so glad I clicked on your video because a lot of this definitely went over my head. You caught a LOT of his wordplay

you have been my favourite breakdown artist forever, and your music is damn insane. Massive love

This was a great reaction. I've seen a ton of people react to this but I think you're the first one to get the majority of the bars and references. I always enjoy your reactions!

I love this line for line reaction. i never knew how many bars i missed. Thanks Knox and please more of this 👍👍👍

18:30 I wonder if he had a double on the "Does my nephew scent/sent still linger?" the smell from his finger (scent) and our military (sent) overseas still lingering after a conflict. Years later, I'm seeing bars that flew over my head many times before. XD

I was impressed that you took the time to catch every bit of wordplay. There's so many layers and references in this that are easy to blow past in real time.

I have been waiting for someone to analyze Words words words for years! this is great!

I have been waiting for this soooooo long. Thank you😄🎉

Thank you I missed half of these and still loved it. With out you I would have not got it all.

My man! Never seen you pause so much and I love it. Thought Ren would be your most extrapolated but you beat it. Didn’t count but yeah…lots going on here. Keep doing this and making music. You kick ass brother!

seen this a dozen times had bars ive never realized you pointed out several times great breakdown knox.

By far my favorite review you've done so far, so happy you get the genius of Bo and your breakdown was absolutely flawless

I see a lot of other people have said this, but this is the best breakdown I've ever seen for this song. Subscribed. 🤘

I freaking love this song so much and I've never thought to watch a reaction to it.. I am not disappointed.

I'm living for these Bo reactions, Knox is about the only reactor I watch anymore. Can't wait to see him do New Math or Bo Yo

one of his bests or atleast hold a ton of nostalgia for me thank you for reacting to this always here for more bo

11:10 Ooo, I'm probably the ten+th person to point out that Steven Hawking's major work was on...black holes...

I've been waiting for this one. And wasn't disappointed.

Haha. You are very entertaining. I am so glad to finally venture beyond your Ren videos (even tho that’s all I’ve been watching for 2 months because I’ve lost my mind.) ❤

bo tries to make double and triple jokes every line. i appreciate it. it's not just hating and dissing, it's hating and dissing mixed with entendres

7:30 , the "Hungry Hungry Hypocrite" reminds me of Flight Of The Concords' "Hiphopopotamus VS Rhymenoceros" at

By far the best breakdown that I've seen. Thank you!

So happy to see more bo reactions from you.

Something tells me this video will still get de-monetized, but I REALLY hope you get the dollars from it. Your breakdowns are the best!

The uncle Midas line was so good too aghh Uncle Midas having a crown means that he's a reference to King Midas- He's the guy from the story that wishes to have the ability to touch gold Which is why Bo has the ability to spit "gold bars" out That's so clever sjsjjbse

I really appreaciate that you caught almost all of the double meanings / bars of the lyrics. The only thing I found you were missing was the Stephen Hawkings part, the video made glues to the professor's theories about black holes. Overall very much appreciated.

ive never seen anyone react to this song and actually get so many references on the first listen

so glad you did a Bo Burnham! the first time I listened to him I was laughing so hard I knew I was missing a bit because it was all coming too fast...!!! love the etymology Knox! Ren is right! you NEVER miss! have a great day Knox! ♥️🎶🙏🎶♥️ Ann

Find that hole like im hawking is also about black holes in physics methinks

Oh, you definitely need to do all Bo's music breakdowns. Damn Knox! 💥

Have not started the video yet, but i am pumped for this!

Keep the Bo coming! His stuff is amazing, and your reactions are always so much fun

Honest to god this is the best reaction to the song I’ve seen. Thanks for taking it seriously.

Finally someone who breaks down those difficult to understand one's! Love it

Such a great breakdown. So glad to see this. Bo is a certified wordsmith.

Omfg, this Bo kid has crazy bars! Jesus Christ!

Fantastic break down. You caught way more than most people do on a first listen

11:15 someone needs to make that a quote and I can’t explain why 😂😂

Bo is extremely special. Its not just music its a direct statement and drawing of life as it is

Dude....it probably sounds a bit melodramatic but this breakdown is legitimately amazing! I'm decent at catching bars but this is a different level. To be able to catch all of these on the first listen is elite.
